"Supporters have liked what they've seen in his 12 games in charge. There's been a clear style of play, youth players have shone and new signings have gelled quickly. There's plenty of green shoots - with a league record of one win, one defeat and four draws - and the 2-0 victory over Dundee United might just be the beginning."
"Martin: Terrible appointment, failed at County and bailed out at Motherwell before he was fired. Board ignoring protests from fans (polling 90% against) and suckered in by his 'word soup'. Relegation battle ahead. Regret early renewal of season ticket. Davey: Perfectly happy. Knows the Scottish game, has a reputation for bringing young players through. No doubt plenty will moan; wouldn't matter who got the job."
Stuart Kettlewell faced initial unpopularity when appointed at the end of May, but fan sentiment shifted after his side's first league victory four months later. Kilmarnock required six games to record that first Scottish Premiership win and exited the Premier Sports Cup at the quarter-final stage. After 12 games in charge, the club displayed a clear style of play, strong youth contributions, and quick integration of new signings, yielding a league record of one win, one defeat and four draws. Fan reactions remained mixed, with vocal criticism from some and explicit support from others. Kettlewell previously managed Ross County and Motherwell and left Fir Park by his own decision.
